The Little Red Brick Show SG50 Edition

Date:  Aug 28, 2015

Some friends told us about it.  

And today is the last day of the exibition.

It is at the National Library.

This blog is for those who has miss it.

Usually Friday night is the kids and the Smith Girls playdate time at home.  Today, let’s do a special outdoor playdate visiting the Little Red Brick Show.

The first thing that caught my eye is this Duxton HDB.  It looks so real.

Then, these old style houses looks pretty amazing.

I told them kids, why can’t they build something like this.

Got to love those roof and water pipes.

Take from another angle.

Looks so realistic.

How about this Katong bread store.

And they have the hawker stall below and beside the house.

How about this old house.

My wife grand father stay exactly in this kind of houses last time.

It is amazing.

Look at this tinkgkat and biscuit.

Wow.  This is the biscuit Kay Kay and most of other kids love to eat.

Wha hahahahahaha.  So real the color.

Let’s eat dinner.

Resolution for the next few playdates.

1.  I have to rearrange the legos into COLOURS sorting instead of shapes.

2.  The kids will need to make something that is very Singaporean.

 

 

SG50 From Singapore to London in 64 days

Date:  Aug 9, 2015

He is Larry. 

Together with his daughter & wife, they are going to drive from Singapore to London in 64 days, across 15 countries.

In this Land Rover.

The 15 countries.  To London.  To celebrate SG50.

These are the 15 countries he is travelling.  Expected to reach London by Oct 14, 2015.

Here are some news reported.  And the facebook page.

She is Lucy.  And she will be the only kid in this expedition.  

I think her dad “brain wash” her that she must keep the traditions on, and do the SG100 drive.  Then, she will be the only human being on Singapore soil that does the long expedition in both the Jubilee and double Jubilee (SG100).  

She is trained since young.  :)

 

50+ cars have come to see the Leong family off here.  These Land Rovers will form a convoy and escort the expedition car to Tuas.

This car I believe is quite old.  When I know Larry, he owns a couple of Land Rovers.  And at that time, may be 15 years ago, he already has this car.

Jay is trying to figure out the route.

 

And the lazy driver is in the driving seat.

More Land Rovers.

Here is the we-fie.  It is amazing, that you can climb up and sit on the car roof just like that.  I think all the people who drive Land Rover like this.

The “See You In 3 Months Time” photo.

Kay Kay gave one of the flag to uncle Larry.  And place the flag on his radio antenna.

Bye bye Lucy.  See you in 3 months time.

There goes the convoy.

The expedition car.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.  The flag is flying strong.

Bye bye.

Wait… there are fighter jets in the sky.  Everybody stopping to watch it.

And, here come the convoy.  I happened to be there by accident, and I shot the whole convoy.  This is 52 Land Rovers seeing Larry off towards the Tuas checkpoint.

Only Larry’s Land Rover to join other Malaysians in this 64 days expeditions.  Good luck in everything, and have fun!  See you in 3 months time.  (They are going to have a vacation in London too).
